Embattled R&B singer R Kelly has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for sex trafficking and abusing young girls.
R Kelly, 55, was convicted on sex trafficking and racketeering charges last September.
He was sentenced on Wednesday (June 29) by Judge Ann M. Donnelly despite his lawyers’ request for 10 years or less. Prosecutors had asked for at least 25 years.
It had been reported that Kelly, who declined to speak on Wednesday, learned his fate after some of his accusers told the court, through tears and anger, that he had preyed on them and misled his fans. He was also was ordered to pay a $100,000 fine.
